4. Loaf of Bread
The loaf is a common stance for cats when they sit erect with their front paws tucked under them. He resembles a loaf of bread as a result. Your cat will frequently close his eyes as a gesture of total satisfaction.
But he’s probably not in a deep sleep when he’s in the loaf position. He normally just takes a little snooze in this position and is still reasonably awake. However, he can still keep an eye on his domain while snoozing in this wonderfully calm cat pose.
5. Eyes Half Shut
You’ve probably observed your cat with his eyes half-closed and half-open, appearing to doze off. They do this because they don’t want to miss any potential hazards that may arise and want to be able to wake up fast if necessary.
Your cat’s overlord may be keeping an eye out for something in the house if you spot him in this position. Perhaps there are strange people nearby or something has changed recently.
6. Contortionist
One of the strangest cat napping positions is certainly this one. With his legs jutting out in all directions, his torso dangling off the couch, and his head twisted around, your cat seems like a true contortionist in this pose. It doesn’t appear to be an especially cozy position.
The professionals are equally curious about what it signifies as you are. Why your cat might select this sleeping position defies actual scientific explanation. Maybe the circus was all he’d ever wanted to do!
